Following up from the broad discussions on Shiny Chaining, Bushin and myself have compiled this small guide into where to go to chain any pokemon that *can* be chained for the best results. We have divided these pokemon into the following sections:

(vi) Remainder pokemon: These pokemon occur naturally without triggering an event, insertion of GBA game into the dongle or belong to a specific game. Pokemon that appear *only* with the Pokeradar are highlighted with "Gold patches" at the end of their entry.

I've been told about % encounter rate issues, more specifically those Pokemon chained with use of the Poke radar. It seems that Bulbapedia quotes these as 22% yet other sites, including psypokes and serebii say that 12% is the actual rate. If anyone can give me a good reason to use one set of values over another, let me know so I can change them all in one go accordingly. If anyone has any corrections or tips, for example, a pokemon that has the same encounter rate on another rate but has a better area in which to chain (e.g. due to space), please make a note of it in a comment and we'll edit accordingly.

We hope this helps all you chainers, whether you do it for shinies, experience or for items.

Today, in the midst of foreplay, this girl tells me I am so hot, I respond "Ditto." She heatedly responds "I love ditto," to which I suavely reply "I didn't know you were into Pokemon. That may make you even sexier." She knows nothing about Pokemon, but I sure know how to kill the mood. FML

Just wondering, if you are using repels, does the lvl of your first pokemon affect the chances of the chain breaking?

For example if you have a lvl 57 scyther in the first spot, and repel, and chain something like Ralts (lvl 4-6), will the chain be more likely to break?

No,the only thing that repels do is keep all pokémon which level is lower than your leader pokémon away.
It doesn't affects your chains whatsover...actually it's the repel that keep your chains from breaking with random wild pokémons.

I have no idea what that meant... the locations etc are specified above and are regarded as the "Optimal" locations... Both Mareep and Elekid are chainable at the Valley Windworks, so I don't see your point...

actually i just remembered that i had a proper reason for posting, not just to say i love the topic. so yeah, i also noticed that bulbapedia says 22% for some pokeradar pokes. i think they are wrong, based on (lots and lots of) experience
